My Valentine's story

A Secret Admirer: Part 2: Logicality

Happy Valentines Day, Logan! With it being valentine's day I have a question. Will you be my valentine? If so, follow these series of clues. Don’t worry they’re not hard! Geology rocks, but Geography is where it’s at! ~Secret Admirer

A pun? Wow. This was from a secret admirer? Who was it? The minute bell rang and I folded the paper back, grabbed my textbook and rushed to class. I got in a few seconds before the bell. The teacher was out which let me have a few minutes to find the next clue. Geology rocks, but Geography is where it’s at. This was a Geography class so the first part didn't matter much. Where it’s at. The map? I looked over to map of the United States on the wall and saw something strange. A small triangular shape was sticking out of the bottom right corner. I walked over and pulled it out.

It was addressed to me like the first. I sat at my desk and the teacher walked in with a smile. The class went by efficiently and we ended up with an infinitesimal amount of free time. I pulled out the note I had shoved in my pocket and looked it over. The front looked similar to the first so I opened it up. It read:

I see that you’ve accepted my scavenger hunt. Next clue. Sadly my english teacher, who could could use two typewriters at one time, got fired for stereotyping. ~Secret Admirer

Another pun. Great. The bell rang and I put the note in my pocket with the first and stood up. English was next and my teacher just so happened to have two typewriters. I walked to my English class and headed straight for the typewriters. My friend, Roman, cut me off though.

“Hey, Lo!” He called with an enthusiastic smile. Of course he was smiling. It was valentine's day and girls always gave him gifts.

“Hello. My I pass by? I’m looking for something.” I said pushing past him.

“What’s got you all irritated?” Roman asked. I tried not to mention the grammar mistakes and the torture these puns were going to put me through today and collected the note I had spotted.

“Ah, scavenger hunt, huh?” Roman asked with a sly smirk. I nodded.

“I assume you had the same idea for Virgil, correct?” His face lit up, but he grinned and nodded. My lip twitched upwards. He always was a hopeless romantic. But with the way Virgil looked at him I’m pretty sure he shared the same feelings.

“Let me read it.” Roman said. I looked at him confused before he pointed to the note in my hands.

“It’s the third one, but okay.” I said handing it over. He unfolded it and read it over. He laughed at the end most likely from the pun that was most definitely in there. He handed it back over.

“Now I get why you’re a bit ticked.” He claimed. I sighed and read the note.

Third clue! My math class started working on 2D shapes, but I lost interest. It was just too plane. ~Secret Admirer

I sighed, folded it back up, and put it in my pocket with the rest.

“You said that’s the third one?” Roman asked. I nodded. “Can I see the other two?” I nodded and handed them over. He read them and handed them back.

“This person’s pretty clever.” Roman commented.

“I just want to know who it is honestly. The suspense is killing me. Figuratively not literally.” I said, unnecessarily adjusting my glasses. Roman smirked.

“Let’s hope it’s a boy.” He said. Heat rose to my cheeks and the bell rang. I must’ve missed the minute bell. We sat down at our group table and listened as the teacher went on about grammar and where commas and colons went. I tuned her out for the most part considering I already knew this. The class was long and extensive and I couldn’t wait to get the next note. Sure the puns were annoying, but they were cute. I’d never admit that, but it was true.
